Oh, have you heard? The whole bloggysphere and beyond has been going totally insaaaaaane for this album called ALBUM by this band called GIRLS. 9.1 on Pitchfork! Well, well, well! They were so excited they even threw in a bonus tenth of a point— that surely doesn’t happen every day!
Pitchfork can eat my f*ck, but this time they speak the truth: Girls are legit. Above you will see the video for Lust For Life, ALBUM’s opening track. The song is incredibly romantic and catchy and the video is pretty romantic too. Highly recommended, even!
But those of you who dare to click after the jump will get the special treat of the X-rated outtake version, featuring lots of ladyboobs and also cute boys (one of which is the sexy Seth Bogart of Hunx and His Punx) frolicking in bed and using each others’ boners as microphones.
While I think the fellows at The Sword (link NSFW) are overstating things by calling it the Hardcore Gay Edit, it’s definitely super-sexy and might even restore a tiny bit of your faith in humanity. (A tiny bit.)
Click onward for the NSFW video.

While those smart alecks at the Onion are “just kidding” as usual with their tips for making sure your son wears an appropriately macho Halloween costume, I weep for all the young prancers whose Halloweens really will be ruined if they’re forced to hide their lights under a bushel. This is not a joke! If there’s any day for a “sensitive” little boy to let his fag-flag fly it’s Halloween.
Luckily, I know that little sissies are nothing if not scrappy/resourceful. For all the youngsters reading this blog who are facing the prospect of a bleakly butch Halloween: chin up, don’t panic, and remember that with just a couple of oranges and your big sister’s bra, even the most staid costume can go from ho-hum to va-va-va-voom!
(If you get really desperate, I’m sure you already know that it’s possible to fashion a serviceable wig using just a pair of pinking shears and some colorful t-shirts.)
Now go out and get ’em, tigers! Don’t forget when trick-or-treating that you get more candy when you smile with your eyes.

Don’t you hate it when you’re having outrageous homosexual intercourse and a little boy walks in on you?! Gross, plus you’re probably going to jail! How about when you’re all ready to jump some shirtless stud’s bones and end up with nothing more than a long, sensuous embrace thanks to those fussy old Standards and Practices prudes? Being a TV gay can be such a drag!
(Thanks to Veg for the tip.)

You may remember Unabashed Queer Matt Siegel from his controversial interview with Tyra Banks a few weeks ago. Today he debuts his new web series, THIS IS SHE, and I’m already loling cause he answers the phone just like my mom. (“This is she…”)
In episode #1, Mr. Siegel unpacks the gay obsession with Madonna’s OH FATHER in hilarious fashion. Guess what: he’s onto something because it is absolutely in my top 5 Madonna songs. (Although I have no plans to make a YouTube video of myself singing it.)
